Has anyone watched this new documentary?
It’s about the case of Taylor Parker.

I don’t believe the husband had no idea she was lying

The police told him she’s in jail for killing her friend and cutting out her unborn child and he showed no emotion
 
Just watched it. I think he was as thick as two short planks tbh and desperately wanted to believe there was money coming his way!

Yes, I did someone on Reddit say they thought he was just thick.

Must be why he didn’t question the pregnancy went on for 10 months
Him, his Mum and friend all seems quite thick to be, but him exceptionally slow. I noticed how thin his dogs were too. Think he must have neglected them.

Yes, the one dog on its own, not in a crate like the others was just so thin. I know there were terrible things in that programme but that made me have no sympathy for him.

Does anyone know why she didn't have her other children with her ? It mentioned she sometimes has her daughter during the week, but no mention of any other child.
Also if it was such a small town how didn't they know she wasnt from money. Strange

Horrible story, poor Reagan she seemed like a great person. The mother’s 911 call was so sad. I don’t think wade knew tbh, I just think he cared so little for Taylor he just disengaged.

I have found the police cam footage of her in the hospital if anyone's interested.
It's nearly 2 hours long, I am about 50 mins in & its fascinating.
The coppa asking her questions is interesting. I thought he was talking too much at first & giving her too much time to think. Interesting to hear what others think & how it plays out.

He did question/disbelieve it at some point during, like at 10 months lol. But as someone else said, he likely hung around waiting for money.

But a lot of men married to/in relationships with pregnancy fakers believe them, even when there's no money on the line. It's an easy thing to deceive with & just escape by claiming miscarriage. Check out the Love Trapped podcast.
 
Just finished watching it.

I think he just wanted an easy life and didn't know how to dump her so just went along with it and buried his head in the sand.

She didn't seem to show much remorse, least they didn't say she did anyway

Surely the first red flag should have been when she “bought” the mother a car and it got repossessed the following week.

I don’t think they were the brightest.

Is this the one where she's in bed (links not working for me)? I had it on my other screen whilst working, I couldn't get over how she was just laying in bed! I know he probably left her there to keep her talking, but bloody hell, drag her out of there.

I don't think she even did it for Wade, I think she just did it to prove everyone wrong when they said she couldn't have a baby.

She even admitted in the police interview he wasn't excited about the baby, I suspect he hadn't had much in the way of a girlfriend before and had resigned himself to just putting up with her presence rather than dumping her. Even if he had called her out on faking and dumped her I think the outcome sadly would have been the same.
 
I watched it today. Wade isn't the sharpest tool in the box to be fair. I think he was probably a bit scared of her. He knew she was a fantasist and he couldn't face it or didnt know what to do i think.

I also think its shocking how many opportunities that passed where she could have been exposed yet everyone danced around it. Even that hospital facility who said they locked their maternity unit down as they thought she might steal a baby.

Why didn't they raise a concern with police about her? At the very least they could have been watching her and known she was hanging about with a girl who was approx at the same gestation in pregnancy.

She claimed to have given birth at the side of the road yet not a hint of a post birth bump or mess on her pyjamas. The state trooper didnt even attempt to resuscitate the baby, he said he couldnt, it needed an EMT. Holy tit, how poor a response was that?

I believe there is a really good youtube video about it all in much more detail. There were a lot of shocking details not in the Netflix programme. I don't mean that in a ghoulish way.

The poor mother really suffered and her family were so graceful.
